On the central purple wooden couch, the newborn princess Zhi Li shone like a precious gem, tightly wrapped in a purple swaddle embroidered with mysterious symbols. Her face was beautiful, and a pair of purple pupils revealed unfathomable mystery in the faint light. Compared to the usual crying of newborn babies, her tranquility was almost unbelievable.
The queen's personal maidservants Feng Yan and Shue Chen instructed two palace maids to take care of the Purple Glass Princess, then one went to arrange the queen's affairs, and the other went to report to the Shaman tribe.
The palace maid Snow held a golden feeding bottle and walked slowly towards the wooden couch, feeling extremely nervous. Her trembling fingers symbolized her reverence for this unusual princess.
"Truly, her eyes are like Zhi Li, a color I have never seen before," sighed Snow to herself.
"And look at her, this princess neither cries nor smiles, truly like a sensible little adult," another palace maid, Cuiyi, whispered as she evaluated Zhi Li.
"Shh, this is the palace. Gossiping is not something we should be doing," Snow glared at Tsui-yi.
At that moment, a deep and majestic voice echoed in the side hall: "Let me have a look at this new princess."
Two palace maids immediately turned around and saw an old man walking in slowly.
He was dressed in a blue robe embroidered with golden patterns, indicating his profound knowledge of astronomy. This was the Minister of Astronomy, a highly esteemed figure in the palace.
The old man walked up to the bed of the Purple Glass Princess, staring intently at her purple eyes. He silently observed for a while, seemingly engaged in deep contemplation.
Finally, the Minister of Astronomy took a deep breath and said, "You must take good care of this princess. Her birth signifies an extraordinary omen."
The palace maids couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts after hearing this, especially Snow. Her already tense heart felt even more constricted at this moment.
"Minister, what does this mean?" Snow couldn't help but voice her doubts.
Minister of Astronomy With a faint smile, he said leisurely, "This is fate, we can only go along with it. You just need to know that this princess is not simple."
Afterwards, the old man slowly walked out of the side hall, leaving behind a heavy atmosphere and two palace maids with unexplainable doubts in their hearts.
Purple Glass Princess Those Purple Pupils seem to be silently gazing at everything as well.
Not long ago, the night sky of the palace was deep and noble, as if every star held countless secrets and legends.
In the observatory on the inner side of the palace, an old man with white hair was gazing at the brilliant starry sky. He was the famous Minister of Astronomy in the court, known as Xin Huan.
"Exhale—" Xin Huan took a deep breath, his gaze becoming serious. In his hand, he held a bronze star disc, covered in countless runes, each seeming to hold its own destiny.
Suddenly, Xin Huan's eyes sharpened, focusing on a disturbing crimson star. This star had appeared in the sky above the palace at some point, its red glow resembling flowing blood, unsettling to the heart.
"Uh-oh, this is an ominous sign, Perilous Swallow!" Xin Huan's heart suddenly sank, and the bronze star plate also emitted a low hum.
Footsteps sounded, and a young night patrol guard walked in. His name was Chu Tian, and he held deep respect for Xin Huan.
"Minister, what have you discovered?" Chu Tian noticed Xin Huan's serious expression, unable to hide his curiosity.
Xin Huan withdrew his gaze and said solemnly, "Chu Tian, this time I need you to keep it a secret. I just observed a sinister star, red as blood—Perilous Swallow, indicating a huge disaster is about to come."
Chu Tian's expression turned slightly cold as he responded seriously, "Please, Minister, how will this disaster specifically affect us? Will it be war, plague, or..."
"No, it's more serious. It involves the newborn princess," Xin Huan interrupted, revealing a hint of sorrow.
Chu Tian was shocked and quickly asked, "What will happen to the new princess?"
"It's still uncertain, but the appearance of the ominous star is not without reason. I must report to the emperor immediately to decide what to do next."
Xin Huan Get up, quickly straighten your robe and hat. The two of them quickly walked out of the stargazing tower, deciding to report early tomorrow morning.
In the palace of dawn, mist lingers, shrouding the entire palace in a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Dragon patterns and phoenix embroideries adorn the magnificent towers, carrying a hint of sorrow.
The birth of Princess Zhi Li, also known as Purple Pupil, and the passing of the queen have made the already solemn hall even colder.
At the court, the emperor sat high on the dragon throne, surrounded by ministers with worried expressions. Not far away, the Minister of Astronomy held a star chart with a deeply furrowed brow, seemingly uneasy about something.
"The day before yesterday, the empress passed away. I had some personal matters to attend to, so I temporarily suspended the court session. However, due to the numerous affairs of the court, I declare that the court session will proceed as usual," said the emperor with an imposing tone, revealing to keen observers that his current mood was like a suppressed storm, ready to erupt at any moment.
A minister dressed in a green robe, known as the Minister of Rites, stepped forward. "Your Majesty, although the passing of the Queen Mother is deeply lamented, the recent birth of the princess, Zhi Li, with her Purple Pupil has caused great unease. Purple Pupil is often considered an omen of misfortune in ancient texts, or a symbol of ill fate."
Another minister, dressed in a blue robe and wearing a square headdress, holding a jade scepter, spoke up. He was the Minister of Astronomy, knowledgeable in the study of celestial phenomena. "We must act promptly, Your Majesty. I have observed changes in the celestial bodies, indicating the appearance of an ominous star, closely related to the Purple Pupil."
The emperor frowned and turned to look at the Minister of Astronomy. "An ominous star? Explain in detail."
The Minister of Astronomy walked up to the emperor with a star chart in hand and said solemnly, "After observing the stars last night, we found that the Mars and Saturn were abnormally close, and there appeared an unnamed ominous star, red as blood. This is recorded in astronomy as the Perilous Swallow, and it is likely to be closely related to the Purple Glass Princess.
"Your Majesty, in order to protect the country and the people, please consider executing or exiling the unidentified Purple Pupil princess, and leave it to fate," a minister named Ru Chen stepped forward, his voice filled with concern.
At this moment, a maid named Feng Yan, dressed in a red gown and wearing a golden crown, approached and respectfully said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the late empress once said that Purple Glass Princess was her greatest pride. This is the child she fought so hard to bring into the world. Would you really have her executed or exiled based on a momentary statement? The empress would not have wanted this. Please, Your Majesty, think carefully."
The emperor was obviously moved by these words. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Well, regardless of whether Purple Pupil is auspicious or ominous, let Zhi Li stay in the palace for the time being. We will make a decision when he grows up."
The Minister of Astronomy and the other ministers looked at each other, knowing that the emperor had made a decision, and dared not say more.
After the morning meeting, the Minister of Astronomy approached the queen's maid and whispered, "Be careful, this matter is far from over. The fate of the Purple Glass Princess may trigger an even greater storm."
Maid Feng Yan nodded, responding with a serious expression, "Thank you for the reminder, Minister of Astronomy. I will make all the necessary preparations for the Purple Glass Princess."
Minister of Astronomy Looking up at the sky, the crimson Perilous Swallow shines in the darkness, as if hinting at something. Tonight, not only the palace, but the entire palace is shrouded in unease, like the deathly silence before a storm. And the Purple Glass Princess seems to have become the center of this storm.
